Anxiety? What's That?

Hello peoples,

I think I have a problem. I have a habit of waiting at the sliding door, at almost the same time every night for Mom to come out and play with me, feed me, or go walkies. The longer it takes her to come out, the more anxious I get, the more glue I use to stick my butt to the ground outside the door. Casper tries to distract me by jumping on me and trying to encourage me to play with him, but I usually snap at him and swat him away like those annoying flies that come round during summer. That’s because I am trying to see what Mom is doing and I don’t want anyone distracting me.

Mom has tried to break me out of this habit by changing our walkie time so that I do not fall in to a routine. She has also tried to teach me some patience by ignoring me and letting me whinge and whinge until I get tired and walk off. But after a 5 minute rest I am back waiting at the door. What can I do, I love my Mom so much. I also feel a bit guilty because when she comes home from work, she makes dinner in a rush and I see her stuffing her face quickly with the food so that she can take me for a walk sooner and does not have to listen to me whinging. She buys me heaps of toys to play with during the day but Casper gets more use out of them. What can I do to distract myself so that I don’t miss her so much? Do I have separation anxiety? HELP!
